Well that is it from me! Have been creating threads, sometimes huge ones, never did to win any contest as such but this time around coincidentally, there is a contest. I might have rushed a couple threads to meet the deadline but apart from that it was fun!
Good work in reigniting the cube, dsmonteiro.
Fingers crossed for the final pick.

As @Impersonal suggested, further extension would be a good idea. Just my 2 cents
Have fun!

@Trista W.
This is my personal opinion and no hatred for anyone.
When someone creates a thread, he/she involves their precious time in it.
Shooting the photos to creating the header using photoshop, then finding which is the best header and finally writing a thread is NOT an easy process.
Every thread written by fellow community members as well as myself are a result of the hard work we put throughout the thread. I am sure @Impersonal and @YRJ will agree.

The strange fact is forum also appreciates our threads by posting it to recommended section.
I assume if a thread is in recommended section and it is also posted in CUBE, it must be a star thread.

But the CUBE is not updated at all.
I read in February contest when someone posts plagiarized photos in SOOP, this makes your team feel bad.
Similarly when you tend to create a platform for creating threads for community and fail to give recognition, it makes us feel BAD.
There are very few members who often write threads :@YRJ@Impersonal@Venky61@B.I.T.S.
The lack of attention to these threads, lack of control over CUBE platform, is something I personally don't like.

Before ending the post I would like to ask you a question.
Why do you ignore the user's who love this community the most?

I agree with @Impersonal@YRJ and @Starcommander
To be frank I still do not understand the process & purpose of Cube. I personally posted here in the expectation that it might reach more users considering the concept of Cube that's projected, more than the rewards. But seems like there's hardly any activity from the team or users except for very few. May be the other users are as confused as me.
Will it matter if a topic relevant in Aug 2019, is made star thread in Mar 2020?

Anyway, I am sure there are other users who did not post here and still contributing as they do, and I can say that we will too, irrespective of the outcome of this thread. Cheers

Thank you for the great contents that you've shared.
We will now review all the threads and promote the best ones to the CUBE.

In a similar fashion, even though we didn't do it on a weekly basis as initially intended, we'll reward the best threads as Star threads, with the corresponding raffle points.

Again, we understand this campaign may have not be up to your standards and I apologise for that. Still, the most important for us has been accomplished, which was finding great writers amongst our Community. We will update the thread once the all the CUBE-worthy threads have been selected.

Hey David
Thanks for acknowledgement. I understand there could have been better execution but the fact that like minded people united and shared their knowledge makes it a truly remarkable progress.
Thank you @YRJ for your amazing threads.
Thanks @Impersonal for the amazing ideas you shared.
I would like to apologize to you or any staff if my previous message was harsh. I know it's difficult to implement a campaign but I would like to thank you and all other staff who acknowledged the failure in implementation and tried to improve it.
None the less, thanks for this campaign.

Following are my threads (some were added to this thread, some were not) :

Thank you, Star!
It was a collective effort, credit is due to all the writer's of the forum, yourself included.

Looking back, I'm happy that with everyone's contribution we could create diverse, informative, funny and helpful content. While the road to the finish wasn't exactly smooth, we made it.
I thank @Trista W. , @dsmonteiro and everyone else involved, both on the front end and backend, in the ideation and execution of The CUBE. Undoubtedly, it is my favourite sub-form. Hopefully, it will serve it's its purpose in the long run.

First and foremost, we would like to apologize for the lack of communication regarding this campaign. We know that many of you dedicated a lot of effort into this contest and we're sorry to not fully reach your expectations.

Is there a way to suggest a contest in the Cube thread still? I realize the deadline has come and gone, so I would understand completely.

Idea: With the newly changed logo for OnePlus and having opened the Community app recently, something stood out even before the app opened. The "old" OnePlus logo that we have all come to know and love was staring me in the face. As a fairwell, I feel like it would be fitting to let members design a new Community App icon that incorporates the new logo. Not only that, this could be extended to a whole new set of icons that could be officially available with a future OOS update. I know there are creative members here with some great artistic/tech skills that could make some amazing icons.

So that was the idea. Apologies if somebody has already suggested this and it was shot down. I feel like I'm active enough that I get all of the official information, but I do not read all of the comments. Have a good day!
